NOMADS crashed out of the Premier Cup in the cruellest of fashion as an excellent game finished in a penalty shoot-out.

Neil Thomas was the hero for Carmarthen as he made two telling saves in the dreaded lottery that is penalties, while Paul Pritchard also made pulled off one save, which proved to be in vein.

An excellent game finished 1-1 after 120 minutes of football as Nicky Palmer put the visitors into a 58th minute lead, before Stewart White equalised nine minutes later.

Both sides missed chances to wrap up the game in normal time, and then in the additional 30 minutes and it was a shame the game had to be decided in a shoot-out.

Nomads, however, could be facing a slight injury crisis ahead of the weekend after defender Chris Williams was taken to hospital with a suspected fractured cheek bone, while Gary Pinch pulled his thigh.
